I Thank YOU For My Roses & My Thorns

I have thanked YOU a thousand time for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the glory of the cross I bear, teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed closer to YOU along the path of pain. Show me that through the tears, the colors of YOUR rainbow look much more brilliant. I praise YOU for the roses and thank YOU for the thorns. by: Shelia Wright
